I told you I removed the transceiver board. That’s removing OnStar completely, not just disabling it but physically removing the actual communication radio for it. So obviously OnStar can’t listen or track my car because it doesn’t have OnStar. Might as well be a 1938 Plymouth. It’s not hard, the board is located under the dash behind the glovebox. Do a search on the forum and there’s a detailed thread on how to do it. And your TV only spies on you if you use the company’s digital reciever. If you have the cable line run directly into your TV you’re clear. |

I am seeing this madness across the board.
No I don't need wifi in my fridge, vacuum, dishwasher, tv, stove, washer, dryer, computer, phone, coffeemaker, blender, heater, air conditioner, etc. |

geez - don't if I should join this flame post. Onstar = no. Have a GPS. tracker for piece of mind. Had a lifetime Sirius/XM subscription on my 2010. Refuse to pay the monthly fees on my 2018. Sirius/XM get real since your audio is lame.

Don’t need onstar. Other services overlap (from insurance to personal dash cams to calling grandma if I need a jump with no extra overpriced fees (and she pays for McDonald’s). Xm is fun too, to catch wind of new music that may not have hit radio yet, but I like being my on dj, sometimes setting iPhone itunes to repeat and enjoying my own soundtrack to life.

XM is good as long as you like to listen to one of its channels Beatles, Rolling Stones, etc I listen to Elvis you could get it for $5.00 a month if you tell them you don’t want it no more. So it’s up to you if you think it’s worth the $5 a month. My trial expires in November I didn’t make my mine up if I’m keeping it or not.
As for Onstar some insurance companies give discounts if you get it, mine gives me $202.00 a year so I just renewed it to the safe and security plan for $149.00 minus the navigation plan with it it was $208.00 So I’m making $53.00 a year to have Onstar. If I didn’t have it I’d have to pay my insurance company $202.00 a year. So it’s still costs me may as well get something for my money. Plus if go to work in the middle of the night or drive in the middle of the night a lot it may be worth it, in case you crash at least somebody will fine you. Don’t forget if you crash your cellphone is gonna go flying through the air and if your hurt forget about using it. |

Xm / sirius for stern, octane and lithium channels. do like to listen to elvis and pearl jam channels every once in a while. cant take terrestrial radio....one song and 10 minutes of commercials can drive you crazy.

there are plenty of free music services out there you can stream. I loved XM but when I had to pay extra for streaming through other devices I told em I want a full refund and to pack it. This day and age you should not have to pay for music.

My OnStar cut out entirely @ 30days. Nada. I would have liked the app remote door unlock but wasn't going to pay for it. XM though I love that, was a very early adopter way back in 2003(?) but I'll renew this free trial for sure. Love streaming it off the app at home, too.

I prefer my own music, whenever and what ever song I want to listen to. It's hard to beat your own stuff.
